A) on multiple switches/helps Dyess and Amir have done VERY well on him in the past.

B) both are very athletic (less so Dyess anymore) and at least as big as LBJ so his patented... Heisman stiff arm into travel into weak blockingfoul called move won't be quite as effective. Back off another half step, make him shoot semi contested stand still J's.

C) The game he blew up in last year, game 5, we were sans Dyess.

D) Why not, all our other 2's / 3's are either stick skinny, or are the Etroit Pistons Arvis Hayes, who hasn't any D, or J lately.

E) It's his penetration not his stand still shooting/get his own 20' J's that kill you and put you in the penalty.

Tay and Afflalo need to spend their time guarding Bron. Give Tay first crack but if that doesn't work try AA and follow the model set by the Rockets vs. Lakers. I would try and put Tay on him exclusively. When Bron sits; so does Tay. Or if Tay gets in foul trouble come with AA.

Let Rip and CB worry about scoring while Tay and AA worry about slowing down Bron.

In the Rockets v Lakers game; Battier's sole responsibility was stopping Kobe. When Kobe sat; so did Battier. It worked to perfection in that game.

I think the two different body styles of Tay and AA would work well if the officials don't treat AA like a rookie defender and call every touch foul.

I'd be happy if Flip just tried ANYTHING out of the ordinary to try and stop The Bron. ...anything.

I'd kinda like to see Flipper stick some smaller/quicker dudes on him to see if that'll disrupt him a bit. It seems that the Pistons' biggest problem is staying in front of James. I think Lindsey or Spellcheck have a better chance of doing that than Tay has demonstrated. Hopefully, doing this (going small) would cause LeBron to try and post up against these little guys. It's a LOT easier for a big to slide over and help in that situation than it is when LeBron is blowing by Tayshaun and racing through the lane for a dunk.
